I would like to say on record that as a very proud supporter of this amazing football club that I have followed through thick and a hell of a lot of thin, after listening to the interview by our CEO I am completely flabbergasted that somebody who is as unprofessional, arrogant and down right wrong can speak on my clubs behalf.

Mr Allen thank you for everything you have done for us but please take the necessary steps to have this man removed with immediate effect thus ceasing further embarrassment to my club.

To be fair I have not listened to the interview in full as it would depress me further. He should be removed from office with immediate effect.

The interview was an embarrassment to the football club and us the fans.

I was fuming and shouting at the radio whilst trying to concentrate driving. Really am mad yet we are told these no way we make these mistakes.

Mr Turner you attended a meeting today because someone at our football club made a mistake , admit it and start to build our confidence back

No, because it was so garbled, decipher it yourself

MK message board? No - I only post here. Why do you think I'm posting on there?

Just that there is a CFC supporter on there with a very similar username to yours

This made me laugh cause it's actually pretty much spot on.

The interview starts nosediving to earth at about 2 minutes and 25 seconds in, where he starts to imply that no real error has been made because we are a "professional football club". It was at that point where I started shaking my head. He has got a point on regards to double standards by the fa, but it's the lack of empathy and responsibility that is staggering. In fact, if that's how he pitched it to the fa then there's no wonder why they passed the judgment that they did. They probably thought 'you arrogant little so and so' , we're in charge here.

Thanks. Just listened. Incredible. I'm not purposefully being mischievous but he sounds like he's been drinking doesn't he?? To say the club don't make mistakes when we're down there on a frankly indisputable charge is unbelievable. If he spoke to the FA with that level of arrogance then No wonder we got the outcome we did.....

Time to go.

There's a culture that's developed over the last few years at the Club whereby it's been everyone else's fault (Hubbard, Wilby, Walters, Sheridan, CBC), clearly we've now reached a point where there's no one left to blame, so we'll just deny that any error was made!

Suspect you will be waiting a long time. You can't defend the indefensible.

I don't know. As someone has said before (was it you?) there is still Jim Brown. I think the club could make it a short step from having to replay the 1972 game because of him to today's events.

The whole of Yorkshire will have heard it, though by the way they speak they probably wouldnt notice any difference in the way he spoke :)

That's the most depressing interview I've ever had to listen to. Sufficient on its own to warrant removal of the CEO? Appears to suggest everybody is to blame - including the FA - but CFC! If I were the FA I'd consider whether the implications of this interview waeeant further action against CFC. A disgraceful interview.

Need to be careful talking about the way he sounded, but a number of people have said the same, including some on the MK messageboard


I speak with a bit of a stutter when under stress and am not naturally articulate so at first I can sympathise a bit. It is excruciating to hear, and he is employed among other things to speak for the club, but lots of people are intelligent, competent in admin jobs, but not good speakers.

BUT WHEN YOU ACTUALLY HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY,
the arrogance, unwillingness to take any responsibility, OR EVEN acknowledge any error makes me very angry. He doesn't come across as a decent bloke thrust into a job he cant quite do (like poor Duncan Russell when he did interviews as mansfield manager). He's just an arrogant man who cant learn any better because he cant even admit any wrong. AND HE SEEMS to have a job for life. What damage he could do.

I see from wikipedia he was born in 1958 so only 56 years old. Could be Years from retirement. I am V angry and I am very mild mannered.
